With Uncle Dana’s tendency to be blunt and concise, Twitter was the perfect platform for him to respond to John Cholish’s and Jacob Volkmann’s complaints about fighter pay and healthcare.
I would have taken Volkmann’s place in a heart beat. 40K a year to fight? I’m down. Ain’t no serious money in any combat sport unless you in that top 5-10% and even then nothing is guaranteed.

Tony Bellew vs Isaac Chilemba
Bellew and Chilemba will have their rematch this Saturday (May 25th).
Nick Pace Flying Knee KO of Collin Tebo
Brutal. Just found out Nick Pace is gonna be on the prelims of the Glory 9 card in NYC next month. Most of you may remember Pace as the dude who missed weight twice while under Zuffa. He’s a cool dude and a talented fighter, way too much of a party boy. It’ll be his first pro fight since he got booted from the UFC after getting beat on by Miguel Torres. He’ll be fighting Levan Makashvili at Glory 9.
Alexis Vila vs Joe Warren
Speaking of CFA 11, Alexis Vila will also be competing on the same card at his natural weight of 125. The former world champion wrestler and Bellator bantamweight tournament semi-finalist will take on Boise, Idaho’s Czar Sklavos.
Alexander Emelianenko vs. Tadas Rimkevicius
The younger Emelianenko brother makes his return to MMA after a short stint in retirement as a baker. His opponent is the man-child Bob Sapp and the fight is this weekend (May 25th).
Alistair Overeem’s return to the octagon has been shifted from UFC 164 to the promotion’s debut event on FOX Sports 1.
Damn numbers are messing with my head. Gotta wonder what the main event will be. LW title fight maybe?
Junior dos Santos: MMA’s Finest Offensive Boxer by Jack Slack
Another (very different) look at the boxing of former UFC heavyweight champ Junior Dos Santos.
Bashir Ahmad takes Fightland to the fringes of Pakistani MMA—from daytime fights in sandlots to late-night “smokers.”
Couldn’t find part 1, but VICE travels to Pakistan to explore the MMA scene there. They go inside Pakistan’s first (and I think only) MMA organization PAK MMA with Bashir Ahmad.
I post MMA, BJJ, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, Sambo, TKD, karate, Judo, etc. related things on here for the fans to enjoy.
